When you mark a game for deletion in the database, how long does it typically take?

[Fugus]

When I was adding a missing game, I messed up and a half finished one was posted here
https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/details/165645

I completed it here:
https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/details/165646

 

And marked the old one for deletion, it got approved days ago but still hasn't been deleted yet. How long does that typically take?

it was not marked for deletion from what I can see.

So I have marked it. Let's wait to see.

Anyway you can help moderating to speed up the process

Much appreciated. I did it before and it was approved, guessing I messed up doing it somehow then.

Been going through and trying to fill out any entries I see for games I have that aren't added yet. I might not be able to add all the good artwork, but just getting the name, data and hopefully the main image correct is at least a starting point that others can build off of and prevent the games from being marked as something else by accident as easily

Was it approved on your end? Maybe they only delete entries once a week or something?

Edit: And on the bright side, I think I might have either added all or near all of the missing US Wii U games to the database and added some missing cover art to a few others. That stuff gets tedious. Might not be the best quality artwork but low quality is still better than nothing at all.

I see the game. Maybe you are right, it'll happen soon

I totally agree. We have time to improve quality but meanwhile something is better than nothing.

hi there sometimes games do not delete due to a bug on the website ,your best bet is to rename the title  saying duplicate game etc and replacing the game with something that is not on the website instead
